Veterinary Surgeon
Veterinary Surgeon. West Yorkshire. £38k – £60k DOE. Be a Vet. Have a Life. Both Matter Here.
Imagine finishing your final consult and being within easy reach of the vibrant city of Leeds or heading the other direction to walk the trails of the Chevin with the Yorkshire Dales on the horizon.
At this family-owned, independent practice, the "best of both worlds" isn't just a geographical lucky break, it’s the daily reality for the team. This is a place for a veterinarian who wants to practice modern medicine without corporate targets, tucked away in a corner of West Yorkshire where traditional values still mean something.
The Independent Difference
The vision here is refreshingly simple: providing top-tier clinical care to the local community without the pressure of a boardroom looking over your shoulder. As an independent, RCVS-accredited nurse training practice, the focus is on doing what is right for the pet and the owner, not hitting monthly targets. With over 100 years of combined experience across a friendly team of five, there is always a mentor nearby to talk through a complex case or offer a second opinion.
A Modern Practice
While the values might be traditional, the equipment is anything but. The practice is fully loaded for the curious clinician, featuring flexible and rigid endoscopy, digital radiography, and Doppler ultrasonography. Because dermatology, cardiology, and advanced surgeries (like TTA, MPL, and BOAS) are managed in-house, clinicians enjoy total continuity of care and a supportive learning environment where skills actually grow
The Lifestyle Balance
The schedule is designed to let you truly breathe. A 4.5-day week is standard, with a 1-in-5 Saturday rotation, and no OOH’s. Even better, the Friday after a worked weekend is a half-day, ensuring that "work-life balance" is more than just a buzzword.
Splitting your time between the two branches offers a rewarding mix: consults and surgery at Yeadon, and consults only at Pudsey. While an experienced vet would be preferred, a kind, empathetic, and a genuine team player matters just as much.
Nestled between the two branches, you’ll enjoy the very best of the region: the vibrant high-street life of Yeadon and the historic, characterful charm of Pudsey, with the Yorkshire Dales just a short drive away. It’s a location that doesn’t just make life convenient; it makes it genuinely enjoyable.
The Package
* Salary: £38,000 – £60,000 (DOE) plus a monthly bonus scheme.
* Support: Full GDP mentorship for new graduates, plus VDS/RCVS fees covered.
* Perks: Simply Health insurance, pension, and staff pets treated at cost price.
* CPD: Fully funded and actively encouraged.
* Leave: 30 days including bank holidays.
